> it can run in 'stealth' mode

In a low-noise environment, sure; this technique surely blows the SNR through the floor. Plus, being an OFDM signal you're probably going to lose all reception while the device is in motion.

Could you elaborate about why this would affect SNR? Do you just mean because the band is narrower, or is there a new source of noise? (Or something else.)


I believe the poster means you could look at signal strength to find the "hidden" network


Thanks. What does "blows through the floor" mean?


In that context they probably mean that the signal will be much harder to interpret for a receiver.
